"Life passes so quickly you've got to take the time, or you'll miss what really matters, you'll miss all the signs." -Amanda Marshall
The older I get the more precious I realize time is. People you love the most are the ones that hurt the most when you lose them. Life is really all about the small things- the birth of a baby, the first day of spring, laughing so hard it hurts, hot chocolate, and memories. If you don't slow down and take in all those things in life they will pass you by before you know it. Regret is a horrible feeling... each day we are giving the opportunity to live life to the fullest, free of regret. Why not take advantage of the amazing gift we are given daily.
"It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.- Greenday
Besides being one of the best songs ever written, it really describes how sometimes the things that we think are going to be the biggest curse end up being the biggest blessings. I know I complain about all the curve balls life has thrown me, but really it isn't all that bad. At the end of the day, I have family that loves me, friends that are amazing, food to eat, money in the bank (even if it sometimes less than I'd like), and I have the faith that God will provide. While my life is far from perfect, and unpredictable doesn't really even begin to describe it... I am having the time of my life and I am blessed.
"We only had a few days, and a whole lot of memories to make. Oh man we were livin, didn't waste one minute. We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye. We laughed until we cried." -Jason Aldean
As my college years are nearing the end, I am becoming more aware of how special these days truly are. There will never be another time in my life that I am this free, so full of opportunity and promise. Being a Senior in college has forced me to examine the fact that this is really it.... the real world is waiting. And while the "Real World" brings some seriousness, I am learning the value of laughter. Laughing so hard it hurts, laughing until I cry.... living every moment for all it is worth, knowing there will never be another moment in time exactly like the one I am living. Go ahead, laugh until you cry.
I know I'll see you again. Whether far or soon. But I need you to know that I care, And I miss you. - Incubus
Not anyone in particular, just all those that I have lost touch with. The fun and friends of high school seem to be fading more and more with each passing day. The people that I once considered my best friends, are no longer. People I thought would never betray me, did. People I thought I would have in my wedding, won't be. People that I thought I would never hurt, I did. And I miss the times when life was simple and our biggest worry was whether or not we would be able to find away to skip a class and go to Qdoba. Wow, how things have changed. But regardless of time or circumstance, I will always have those memories. Not only will the memories remain forever, but so will the love. I miss you all... and if you want to come back to me.... know you will always have a place.
"My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, and while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,Yeah, this, is my wish." -Rascal Flatts
This is always a good song to end things on... so I will just roll with it. For all the people in my life, those that I love, those that I admire, those that make me who I am... this is my wish. I don't really have to elaborate much because the song says it all. I hope that each of can read this and know my love for you. If you are in my life, you are in my heart and I wish you only the best.
Wow... I didn't know I had that much to say... guess there really is just Somethin' About Those Songs....
